I shall be keeping an eye on alt-J in the iTunes chart this week. Hoping they can snatch a top 40 single this week.

This thread is now a Bobby Shmurda pun thread.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 20th September 2014, 11:07 PM

Another boring chart next week, I can only see 1 new entry - Jessie J & Co - unless something else pops up mid week. I just don't think its #1 material myself though, its feels like its going to peak at #2.

George Ezra might get a shot of the top 3 by Sunday, with the Graham Norton performance (Friday)

Jessie J chats on Alan Carr with Ella Eyre performing.

Posted by: SevenSeize 20th September 2014, 11:08 PM

think Bang Bang is easily heading for 100k+ this week (despite not many others thinking so ;o). as the great Sheik Abdul would say; Memba I told you!!!

hope 'I Know' can make the top 20 at least, liking it more than Touch

Posted by: Ryan. 20th September 2014, 11:09 PM

I'm not sure where I expected 'Mirror Man' to enter, maybe top 30? It's hard to judge where instant grats will enter of course due to their albums not appearing on the singles chart.

Posted by: SevenSeize 20th September 2014, 11:12 PM

officially #teamREDLIGHT this week though

LET'S PARTY LIKE IT'S NINETEEN NINE-TEE TEE TEE TEE

Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th September 2014, 11:14 PM

Kele Okereke has a new single out called "Doubt" which is missed off that release list, but I 'doubt' it'll make the chart to be honest. Let's hope Aphex Twin inexplicably gets his entire album in the Top 40 too.

Posted by: Dobbo 20th September 2014, 11:17 PM

Shift K3Y has pleasantly surprised me. I didn't he could outdo Touch but I am loving I Know right now. Top 10 probably a stretch which is a shame.

'Mirror Man' did take a while to show up over on New Zealand iTunes so maybe we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning for that to enter.

Posted by: gavindeejay 20th September 2014, 11:48 PM

Looks like we'll have another God awful Number 1 next week. I wish the UK would stop supporting Jessie J so we can have some peace and quiet from her screeching!

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2014, 11:50 PM

Am I the only one who's actually a Jessie fan here? As a person she's pretty intolerable but I really like her music and Bang Bang is definitely one of her best.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 20th September 2014, 11:53 PM

I like Bang Bang but for me it doesn't feel like a number 1
Jessie really needs to go back to her first era- Nobody's Perfect, Price Tag and Do It Like A Dude are all 11/10 [and possibly even Domino/ Who You Are] and the rest of the album is pretty much 9 or 10

Anyway hoping Taylor somehow gets a new peak this week

Posted by: Herbs 20th September 2014, 11:53 PM

good to see jessie j number one. good song

Posted by: Dobbo 20th September 2014, 11:55 PM

I liked Bang Bang at first but's been so overplayed I can barely stand it anymore. Nicki's part is the best.

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 21st September 2014, 12:18 AM

What a boring and uninspiring number one.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 21st September 2014, 12:23 AM

Bang Bang is pretty dire, I only really like the part of the chorus that sounds like Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. Not entirely happy at that outcome and there doesn't seem to be much else of interest going on this week so yeah.

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 21st September 2014, 12:25 AM

I hope Shift K3y can get into the top 10 somehow.

Posted by: { bré } 21st September 2014, 12:28 AM

'Bang Bang' is a weird song, the Wham! sample (or similarity if it isn't a sample) doesn't fit the rest of the song at all. Jessie is thankfully not too screechy on it but she doesn't exactly contribute much and neither does Ariana, I quite like the Nicki part I guess but definitely an average and unnecessary #1. And Jessie really should just stop existing in general still.

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 21st September 2014, 12:50 AM

WOW! Check out the banner at the top of Jessie J's twitter page. Talk about being keen...............


https://twitter.com/JessieJ

Posted by: Jonjo 21st September 2014, 12:56 AM

'Bang Bang' to sell over 120k please! Such a great song. Jessie had a bit of a meh 2nd era, but this era is off to a promising start for me. Although 'Alive' is one of those albums where I forget how much I enjoy it until I actually listen to it.

Bang Bang is f***ing awful

Posted by: Eric_Blob 21st September 2014, 02:11 AM

Nobody on Buzzjack is going to know why Bobby Shrmurda is.

I'm a bit suprrised that Carrie Underwood is top 40 on UK iTunes. I assume it's X Factor.

And also, the JLo Iggy video is awesome, but I still think the Shakira/Rihanna video is the best of 2014. It's not as explicit but it's classier.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 21st September 2014, 05:37 AM

Yeah, I don't get why most of UK members in here hates their very own Jessie J and Rita Ora. They are both amazing to me and I am glad Jessie is having a proper hit everywhere at this moment.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 21st September 2014, 07:06 AM

I'm all for Jessie J getting another #1, sure, but "Bang Bang" is pretty poor imo. Nice to see the like of Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj gain a chart topper in the UK from it though; just hopeful that there's better stuff on the third album.

Shift K3Y to gain a T10 hit with "I Know" please, so good!

Posted by: Therm• 21st September 2014, 07:40 AM

I'm on team Shift K3Y this week, really hoping 'I Know' can sneak a top 20 place this week although it's unlikely.

'Bang Bang' is quite good, Jessie's had better songs before though. Nicki Minaj getting her first UK #1 though

And of course I'm rooting for Power Music Workout to go top 40 officially.

Posted by: T Boy 21st September 2014, 07:55 AM

Eurgh at the prospect of Jessie J going to no.1 on my birthday. Worst birthday no.1 ever.

Posted by: gooddelta 21st September 2014, 08:02 AM

Bang Bang is actually my favourite Jessie single to date, it's pretty anthemic.

Posted by: T Boy 21st September 2014, 08:08 AM

I wonder if she'll still claim the UK don't appreciate her voice when she gets another no.1...

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ 21st September 2014, 08:27 AM

Not the best #1, it was rather a predictable one. The rest of the new entries are not really my cup of tea, I like the previous track by Shift K3y, I Know goes nowhere for me.

Posted by: GTH 21st September 2014, 08:49 AM

When she needs the support of two very popular female artists (one recently nabbing her own #1) and requires a very delayed built up release to get it, she could still go with that claim. I am sure she will be talking about how 'amazing' the UK fans are until single #2 comes out. I really hope she pulls out a decent song with the second single and not It's My Party which was just terrible. Jessie has put out some brilliant singles (Thunder/Domino are my favourites), but she also released a few duds.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 21st September 2014, 09:09 AM

Love Bang Bang so glad it's looking like it will go number 1

Posted by: Therm• 21st September 2014, 09:37 AM

1. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang
10. Ella Henderson - Mirror Man *
16. Shift K3Y - I Know
29. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang
30. Redlight - 9TS (90s Baby)
34. Carrie Underwood - I Know You Won't

*chart ineligible as Ghost is also an instant grat

Posted by: Dane 21st September 2014, 09:38 AM

So glad Jessie is number 1! Absolutely love her, wish she would go back to her first album sound but I suppose that was 4 years in the making. There is not one song on her first album that I don't like, for me they could have all been singles.

Also currently loving Shift K3Y!

Posted by: Rob S 21st September 2014, 10:57 AM

Ella Eyre - Comeback (Pre Order) 270

Posted by: •CDC• 21st September 2014, 11:05 AM

Agreeing with Addy K!ng in that I fully support both Rita and Jessie and think their amazing. SO happy to be seeing Jessie getting her third number one, her voice is flawless. Also, potential record holder for UK female artist with the most UK number ones?

I'm extremely happy to be seeing Nicki getting her first number one, and to be seeing Ariana gained her second as well. Bang Bang is a tune.

I, for one, don't get the Jessie hate and think she's hilarious as a person, I just can't fathom how somebody could fine her 'intolerable'. Anyway, yay for Bang Bang, hopefully Burning' Up wil be able to replicate the success next month.

Posted by: Ellis 21st September 2014, 11:09 AM

Well, if http://instagram.com/p/tIbiIkw0dP/?modal=true is anything to go by, it looks like Jessie J feat. 2 Chainz is actually going to happen. It is however helmed by Max Martin again so we should be in for a good chorus, but I'm a bit sceptical so far! She's releasing it just less than 2 months after Bang Bang however which seems a dud move considering it's just peaked and re-peaked in America and Australia respectively!


1. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang 1.0000 1.0000
2. Sigma - Changing (feat. Paloma Faith) 0.5543 0.6281

Big increase on Sigma, I wonder if Jessie & Co. could be in for 100k+ this week?

Posted by: T Boy 21st September 2014, 11:21 AM

When Rita Ora and Jessie J are potential record holders, Geri Halliwell previously having the record doesn't sound as absurd...

Posted by: GTH 21st September 2014, 11:34 AM

That sounds ok based off of the snippet, but will wait for the whole thing as hard to judge an entire song off of 15 seconds. She is definitely sticking with the American sound. Going a lot more sexual with her stuff too (no doubt something her US label are encouraging).

Posted by: Simon. 21st September 2014, 11:50 AM

4 completelyyyy solo number 1s though.

Posted by: JAY17 21st September 2014, 12:43 PM

And the worst No.1 of the year is upon us...

It makes 'Problem' sound like a classic.

Posted by: •CDC• 21st September 2014, 12:48 PM

Problem is a classic.

Posted by: { bré } 21st September 2014, 12:53 PM

I'm really hoping this revival of Jessie's career is just down to the other 2 artists on the song and she'll resume her terminal decline afterwards. Unless she can start releasing good songs again of course (I still really like 'Wild' and I've never hated 'Price Tag' though it is rather old now) but I think that's unlikely.

Posted by: JAY17 21st September 2014, 01:00 PM

I find 'Wild' to be Jessie J's best single, with 'Price Tag' pretty harmless.

I can't stand the over the top "shouting" in most of her songs.

Posted by: Dobbo 21st September 2014, 01:14 PM

Yep I agree Wild is her best for me. Price Tag & DILAD are good also.

This? Not at all.

Posted by: Kl▲mzee 21st September 2014, 01:22 PM

I swear if Bang Bang was by anyone but Jessie J the majority of Buzzjack would be adoring it! I know it's quite a predictable #1 but it's much better than her preachy stuff.. (also what is the Wake Me Up Before You Go Go bit?!)

Redlight's new song sounds really really familiar, I first heard it on the radio last night and thought it was a classic from 10 years ago!

Posted by: troylovesmusic 21st September 2014, 01:23 PM

What decline ? ok her 2nd album didn't do as good as her 1st album but it didn't flop disastrously . Jessie has always been pretty popular in the UK and her singles have done pretty decently . Don't really get the hate for her on here either tbh I mean I know she's not the perfect popster but she's not THAT bad or as bad as some people make out she is on here.

Posted by: MC Delroy 21st September 2014, 01:30 PM

The Power Bass Workout version of All About That Bass has a very good chance of entering the iTunes top 10 this week.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 21st September 2014, 01:33 PM

The 'Bang Bang into the room/there goes your heart' bits sound exactly like the Wake Me Up...'s verses:



-x-

I don't hate Bang Bang because it's preachy, it's just a racket. The only songs I've liked from Jessie J are Thunder, Do It Like a Dude is tolerable too. Price Tag's preachiness really annoys me these days.

Posted by: { bré } 21st September 2014, 01:39 PM

That decline.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 21st September 2014, 01:50 PM

I don't think it is tbh. Jessie J has had a lot more chart success than both Ariana and Nicki, so if anything I think she's the one helping them out.

Posted by: marcin 21st September 2014, 01:55 PM

That mess of a song is at #1? I was sure it would flop badly when I first heard it.
I guess big names have done the job as I can't imagine anyone even remotely tolerating this dirge.
And I kind of like Jessie J !!! What a disaster

Posted by: Ethan• 21st September 2014, 01:59 PM

Hopefully Shift K3y can comfortably make the top 30 this week with the excellent 'I Know' and good to see Redlight at least start the week in the iTunes top 40.

'Bang Bang' is frankly abysmal, undoubtedly one of the most prosaic number ones of 2014~

Posted by: The Hit Parade 21st September 2014, 01:59 PM

Oh yeah, what I know of her as a person seems very likeable, it's just her annoying voice and her awful songs I hate.

Posted by: James1987 21st September 2014, 02:13 PM

I think that title belongs to next weeks number one

Posted by: Dobbo 21st September 2014, 02:14 PM

Nothing will possibly be worse than Stay With Me...

Posted by: James1987 21st September 2014, 02:18 PM

As much as I hate Stay With Me now I don't think it's the worst number one of 2014, one of the top 10 maybe but not the worst

Posted by: T Boy 21st September 2014, 02:18 PM

To be fair, I really don't like Ariana Grande either.

Also Jessie's biggest problem is that her personality WHIFFS of insincerity.

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 21st September 2014, 02:32 PM

1. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang
13. Shift K3Y - I Know

33. Carrie Underwood - I Know You Won't

Posted by: Jack 21st September 2014, 02:39 PM

The people hating on Bang Bang are so predictable, seriously I knew Ethan and Jay17s responses before I even came into this thread. Dont worry, I am sure another faceless dance song will be #01 soon for you to collectively jizz over.

Posted by: Liаm 21st September 2014, 02:42 PM

Each to their own and all that but prosaic is surely the last word you can use to describe Bang Bang as a huge fan of the dance #1s this year :/ I can see why people would call it shouty, but never prosaic... It's different from most other songs out at the moment, and it's certainly unique among #1s this year.

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st September 2014, 02:44 PM

But it's PROSAIC duh!!1!

Posted by: troylovesmusic 21st September 2014, 02:51 PM

Follow up albums rarely sell better than debut albums anyway.

Posted by: { bré } 21st September 2014, 02:56 PM

I never said they did? I just said I hope her career continues to decline after this.

Posted by: T Boy 21st September 2014, 03:02 PM

It's still a decline.

Posted by: *Tim 21st September 2014, 03:07 PM

Ariana has massive hype surrounding her as has Nicki. She planned this really well tbh
The song would be nowhere near as succesfull when she'd sing it solo

(I like the song tho)

Posted by: Jade 21st September 2014, 03:21 PM

Adele says hi

But yeah that's very true. Jessie J's second album WAS shocking compared to the first though.

Posted by: scratchy23 21st September 2014, 03:56 PM

I think both albums are absolutely crap. Pretty much every non-single is utter shit on both of them, besides Abracadabra, Breathe, Sexy Lady and Square One.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 21st September 2014, 04:20 PM

I said rearley not all the time but yeah Adele is probably an example that it can happen

Posted by: Eric_Blob 21st September 2014, 05:50 PM

Well, yeah, obviously it does best with all three, but if it was just Jessie J it would probably do better than if it was just Ariana or just Nicki.

I think the only country where Jessie is the least famous of the three is probably the US.

Posted by: Ryan. 21st September 2014, 05:51 PM

Ella will be performing 'Glow' on Sunday Night at the Palladium shortly so it'd be great if that could push the pre-order into the top 200! It's currently holding up very well at #450 as of a couple of hours ago when I last checked considering the weekend effect always tends to push pre-orders down quite a lot.

Posted by: Ryan. 21st September 2014, 07:15 PM

Posted by: Addy K!ng 21st September 2014, 07:36 PM

I liked Jessie J since day 1.

The best for me was Nobody's Perfect

Bang Bang is ANTHEM as Rich said...sounds amazing in clubs and in car playing loud.

Oh that's disappointing music needs all the advertising it can get!

Posted by: JAY17 21st September 2014, 09:38 PM

Please grow up.

You always seem to have a problem with me for some reason when others have clearly echoed my opinion before and after and I've held back and turned a blind eye to your immaturity, due to the fact I'm assuming you're rather young and so on...

I like "faceless dance music", you like screechy female "poptastic" artists; let's leave it at that.

I could take a good guess at what your response would be to a number of songs but I re-frame from posting it, let alone naming your username on a post.

Posted by: Jack 21st September 2014, 09:43 PM

I just find it boring and tedious personally. You have a habit of stating an opinion like it is a fact. There is no need to be so patronising either.

Get back to listening to your sick beatz guys~

Posted by: JAY17 21st September 2014, 09:52 PM

Wow, the irony in saying that I'm patronizing and then reading your last comment...

If you find my posts so boring and tedious then I'd suggest scrolling past my posts when seeing my name, might be worth trying.

Now you get off to bed fella, you probably have school in the morning.

28. Carrie Underwood- I Know You Won't

If this continues to maintain its position around the 21-30 region throughout the week. It could be Top40 on Sunday possibly.





271. Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull- Booty

Any news on the version with Iggy Azalea in it going to be released here? Definitely all that "Booty" in that erotic music video.

Posted by: JosephStyles 22nd September 2014, 08:39 AM

The lack of new entries in general could mean that Carrie gets a play on the chart update at least!

15 G.R.L. - Ugly Heart

This is holding on nicely. Still such a shame it peaked at 11. 3rd week top 20 this week, hopefully.

Posted by: mr_aly 22nd September 2014, 09:59 AM

I'm pretty miffed 'Bang Bang' is on lock for #1, though I knew it'd happen all along.

It's not so much that the song is bad, but Jessie's vocal on it is excruciating.

Posted by: donnahjaneymack 22nd September 2014, 11:23 AM

It's good to see Jessie J back and being a contender for next Sunday's no1!

Oh yes, and I was absolutely thrilled that "Take Me To Church" by Hozier finally broke the UK Top 40 last night. I have been raving about this song for almost a year to anyone who will listen and telling them how amazing it is! It was a massive hit here in Ireland, and I hope it will replicate its success in the UK and climb really high. I will be watching its progress on the live updates with interest!

Posted by: Euphorique 22nd September 2014, 11:27 AM

Personally, I think Bang Bang is a jam, and deserves to be #1. Sounds great blasting it out loud

Posted by: SLlewellyn 22nd September 2014, 11:58 AM

01. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj - "Bang Bang" (and #51)
11. Power Workout Mix - "All About That Bass"
13. Shift K3Y - "I Know"
16. Ella Henderson - "Mirror Man"
34. Redlight - "9TS (90s Baby)"

59. alt-j - "Every Other Freckle"
67. alt-j - "Hunger of the Pine"
71. alt-j - "Warm Foothills"
72. alt-j - "The Gospel of John Hurt"
79. alt-j - "Garden of England - Interlude"
80. alt-j - "Left Hand Free"

Hopeful that streaming can really benefit these alt-j tracks, would love for "Every Other Freckle" to hit the T40 officially somehow; though "Hunger of the Pine" deserves/deserved to be their first.

So... The Power Workout Mix... could chart inside the top 40... just great, along with the original version from Meghan, can't wait double doss of All About That Bass on Sunday "prepares ear plugs"

Jessie J new single Burnin Up has premiered ft 2 Chainz..its released tomorrow worldwide(except UK and Ireland),her album is releases the 10th of October, so it should be released in the next week or 2..that means Bang Bang and this will be released within 2 weeks of each other..will Bang Bang not overshadow it?,she will def have 2 singles in the top 10 at once anyway..

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd September 2014, 01:24 PM

Surely this Power Music Workout song... all the people buying it genuinely prefer this version because I refuse to believe people think it's the official version with an artist credential like THAT.

Posted by: gooddelta 22nd September 2014, 03:40 PM

I prefer it too...although it basically turns it into a novelty 90s cheese anthem.

I find the original rather irritating, not a fan of the production really!

Posted by: Therm• 22nd September 2014, 03:50 PM

good to see I'm not the only one who loves the Power Workout Music version of All About That Bass! I love the extra 'oomph' that version gives it, would love it to go top 40 just for Jameela's reaction to it.

I'm not a huge fan of alt-J's new stuff but as they're the biggest current artist to not have a top 40 hit to their name they deserve it for the purpose of reflecting their popularity.

Posted by: liamk97 22nd September 2014, 03:58 PM

Agreed, definitely has more 'oomph'. The original doesn't seem to have any official remixes yet but I do hope there's one that sounds like the Workout mix (doubtful but still).

Posted by: Rabbit Heart 22nd September 2014, 04:07 PM

'Say Something' must be one of Simon Cowell's favourite songs. He used it last year for his winning act on the US X Factor, it's been used prominently on this year's X Factor and now Ella Henderson has covered it in the Live Lounge.

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd September 2014, 04:18 PM

I think I'd cry if it's actually used as the winning song this year...

Posted by: fchd 22nd September 2014, 04:23 PM

They won't play it anyway - they never play the pre-release cover versions these days

Posted by: Therm• 22nd September 2014, 04:40 PM

I know that!

Jameela will still have to announce that a fake version has entered the chart though!

Posted by: Therm• 22nd September 2014, 04:41 PM

They better not do a really predictable cover as the winning song this year. I can't see anyone pulling Say Something off and making it their own.

Posted by: liamk97 22nd September 2014, 04:46 PM

The song only works when someone puts all their emotion into it and has a personal connection. With X Factor winner singles it isn't the case ('Hallelujah' aside imo) so yeah, wouldn't work.

^^The Vamps always release a special featured version of a post album single to get a load of pre orders to get into the top 10 - 5 Seconds of Summer did the same last week propelling it into the top 10 for one week.

I heard it today in radio 1 too and yes it's a new version of Oh Cecilia

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 23rd September 2014, 12:31 AM

Does anyone know what the longest running iTunes #1 is? I remember that Clean Bandit had 4 weeks unbroken at #1 on iTunes earlier this year but has there been any song in history that had a longer run at #1?

if iTunes was around in 1994 you could say maybe it would have been Wet Wet Wet.

This is very random. There are literally hundreds of US R&B type songs that never even make the UK top 100 but this one could potentially chart quite highly. Probably the most random chart hit of the year along with Na Na.

Posted by: { bré } 23rd September 2014, 04:48 PM

This one is playlisted on Capital. It's also done bizarrely well on airplay in the USA.

Posted by: Dobbo 23rd September 2014, 04:51 PM

I didn't even know Jeremih was still relevant!

Down On Me was a tune though haha.

Posted by: { bré } 23rd September 2014, 04:52 PM

I don't think Jeremih is ever really relevant, he just exists and occasionally people care for one of his songs then he returns to obscurity for a couple more years.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 23rd September 2014, 04:52 PM

Jeremih's the one that did that Birthday Sex song a few years back didn't he? I feel bad for still remembering that.

Posted by: { bré } 23rd September 2014, 04:54 PM

He is indeed - horrific song but 'Down On Me' (his other previous 'hit', got to #30) was a lot better.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 23rd September 2014, 04:55 PM

I think it's just because Capital is playing it? In 2011 they'd never have played a song like this, but this type of music has done well in the charts this year, so they're probably more open to playing these kinds of snogs now. In the top 40 we've had:

Kid Ink - Show Me
Iggy Azalea - Fancy
will.i.am - Feelin' Myself
will.i.am - It's My Birthday
Trey Songz - Na Na

I feel like another one made top 40 too but I can't remember which one (I actually forgot Na Na even charted until you mentioned it).



Or Birthday Shhhhh as the radio edit goes.

To see this go top 40 on Sunday would be amazing...it's never going to happen but a guy can hope

(is it wrong that I really like this though I wish ITV would release Sheridan Smith's version on a soundtrack as it would be less shameful seeing Sheridan's name than Cilla Black!!)

Isn't Jeremih the radio 1 "TOTD" today? Which would explain why it's top 200.

Posted by: JohnnyCartersBoy 23rd September 2014, 11:53 PM

I kinda wish they would release a digital EP on iTunes of her versions of the songs! I bet it would have gone straight in the top 10! (Sheridan Smith getting a top 10 would be a well welcomed shock!) ITV missed a HUGE marketing ploy there!

Hope they do, I love Sheridan.

Posted by: James1987 24th September 2014, 12:35 PM

Yeah that be amazing! When the announcer said about pre ordering the series and 'download' I was hoping they meant they were releasing an Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes style soundtrack CD...now if only this had been made for the BBC it could have happened but sadly I think they've missed such a big opportunity...

the earlier you buy them, the more time you get to play them!

How To Save a Life is beautiful

Posted by: Liаm 25th September 2014, 07:23 PM

This is more appropriate for when they announce they're going to split

Posted by: James1987 25th September 2014, 07:33 PM

I can't buy, listen or play any Christmas songs until December 1st and up to new year then that's enough.

I'm a bit superstitious and I can't play them sooner in case it's bad luck

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th September 2014, 07:35 PM

With Christmas songs- I usually start my loonage around mid October (and its always the same songs- AIWFCIY, IWICBCE, Fairytale Of New York are my main 3 and I listen to so many others as well)

Posted by: steve201 25th September 2014, 08:06 PM

Once the big live XF shows start and hallowe'en a out if the way lol. It's usually around the final few days of September that Mariah & The Pogues first appear.

Anyway it'll be interesting to see how streaming affects the Xmas chart this year!

Posted by: Aprilconda 25th September 2014, 08:07 PM

My loonage begins on 1st November. I have occasional plays in October, but Christmas officially begins after Halloween. And when we reach December it's just like Christmas Day everyday tbh!

Posted by: Regina 25th September 2014, 08:10 PM

I listen all year round

Posted by: Aprilconda 25th September 2014, 08:11 PM

P.S. Don't forget to purchase 'Christmas, With Love' by Leona Lewis

Posted by: Therm• 25th September 2014, 08:13 PM

I don't ever listen to Christmas songs in any month of the year except December (except when one of them is on a best sellers countdown on R1 then I can ironically love them for one listen) . It just doesn't feel right plus by the new year I get sick of the amount of overplay they get.

Looking forward to Fairytale Of New York re-appearing in the chart anyhow Streaming should benefit it too

Posted by: Liаm 25th September 2014, 08:13 PM

I usually ease myself in in early October and then end up properly into it when Christmas albums are released at the end of October (usually there's at least one by an artist I like to kick it off!)

Posted by: { bré } 25th September 2014, 08:15 PM

I'm hoping The Retrobot can get #1 this year - he wasn't far off last year.

Get buying yoll

Posted by: Jonjo 25th September 2014, 08:35 PM

'Underneath The Tree' and 'Winter's Dream (Brandon's Song)' (along with the full album tbh) will be the first Christmas songs to get the spin from me this year! *.*

Kelly C to smash it and surprise push WD(BS) as a single please!

Posted by: ElectroBoy 25th September 2014, 09:27 PM

06. George Ezra // Blame it on Me

And he's on Graham Norton tomorrow - hopefully performing it

Posted by: Rob S 25th September 2014, 09:29 PM

Should be #5 shortly too I can see Graham boosting him upto 3 maybe?

Posted by: Neil. S 25th September 2014, 09:43 PM

Me

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th September 2014, 09:45 PM

Talking about buying Christmas songs, I really need to get the modern classic of one more sleep (I think I'll wait for mid October but I am 100% buying it this year)

Posted by: mr_aly 25th September 2014, 09:46 PM

I'm really interested to see how streaming impacts these Christmas songs this year.

Posted by: Ryan. 25th September 2014, 09:47 PM

If you want to know which Christmas songs to expect next, here are the top 4 on the "Holiday" genre chart (bear in mind you probably need like 10 sales to be top 4 here!):

1. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
2. Justin Bieber - Mistletoe
3. Leona Lewis - One More Sleep
4. Wham! - Last Christmas (Single Version)

So we should expect Leona soon!

Posted by: April 25th September 2014, 09:51 PM

Leona getting those trickle sales!

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th September 2014, 09:51 PM

Surprised to see no Pogues in that top 4

Posted by: Dobbo 25th September 2014, 09:55 PM

Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone. THAT'S the king.

Posted by: Rob S 25th September 2014, 09:56 PM

along with Wizzard in my top 2 fave ever Christmas songs. Hope it goes top 40 at least this year.

Posted by: jase. 25th September 2014, 09:58 PM

12. Ugly Heart - G.R.L.
13. Rude - MAGIC!



92. Chasing Time - Azealia Banks

Best thing she's done since 212

Posted by: Dobbo 25th September 2014, 10:00 PM

More like only thing she's done?

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 25th September 2014, 10:06 PM

That's in my top 10, another classic

(Now I really need to stop talking about Christmas songs in September )

Posted by: jase. 25th September 2014, 10:29 PM

She's only had one commercial hit but she has loads of other songs...

Posted by: steve201 25th September 2014, 10:30 PM

The last time I checked this on 6th Jan Leona was no1 but I'm sure she was in the top 1000 then still.

Isn't it true that the 'Top Holiday Songs' don't include The Pogues?

Posted by: Dobbo 25th September 2014, 10:30 PM

True. I do remember some dreadful track with Pharrell sometime last year...

Posted by: Envoirment 25th September 2014, 10:35 PM

Oh wow, didn't expect Leona to be doing so well. Hope Leona does a few performances & Radio/TV get behind the song again this year. Would be amazing to see "One More Sleep" back in the top 40.

I think streaming might help Christmas songs? Or were there no Christmas songs in the spotify charts/streaming charts for previous years?

Posted by: steve201 25th September 2014, 10:37 PM

The top 40 was full of them - think Mariah was No1!

A lot of Buble album tracks too!

Posted by: Envoirment 25th September 2014, 10:45 PM

Oh that's awesome. The chart will really have a big Christmas takeover this year then.

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 26th September 2014, 01:07 AM

5. George Ezra - Blame It On Me

Posted by: Jason 26th September 2014, 02:49 AM

If I were Cheryl Cole I would say 'I'm so proud of you George'

Posted by: Therm• 26th September 2014, 06:05 AM

How One More Sleep does this year will be interesting to see. Will probably re-enter the top 75, not so sure about top 40 unless she re-promotes it

Posted by: jmc1991 26th September 2014, 06:29 AM

in my fantasy, underneath the tree by Kelly Clarkson comes out of nowhere and rockets to number 1....if only

Posted by: jsilv 26th September 2014, 06:34 AM

FOY is my essential Christmas tune, all others are just bonuses.

Posted by: Dane 26th September 2014, 08:44 AM

Hoping this can go top 3!

Posted by: James1987 26th September 2014, 08:50 AM

So happy to see George Ezra going top 5, but I'm expecting top 3 tomorrow so hopefully give him a boost for Sunday!

On the topic of Xmas songs, that Justin Beiber monstrosity should never have been created its awful

For me it's all about The Pogues, even though my mum says its depressing I think it's great. I would like to see this in the top 40 but with streaming I'm not sure if it will

Posted by: gooddelta 26th September 2014, 09:06 AM

I'd love One More Sleep to become a Xmas classic but it completely depends whether radio and TV pick it up again.

Posted by: steve201 26th September 2014, 09:35 AM

One More Sleep is very AIWFC for me a bit to bubblegum style pop.

Heres some of the TV acts this weekend -

Jools Hozier & Mary J to name a few
Alan Carr - Jessie J chatting & Ella Eyre performing Comeback
Graham Norton George Ezra hopefully performing Blame it on Me!

Posted by: James1987 26th September 2014, 09:50 AM

If George Ezra doesn't perform Blame It On Me I won't be happy but it seems unlikely he would even if he wants to push the album...we'll have to wait and see!

Posted by: Eric_Blob 26th September 2014, 10:14 AM

Leona's record label should promote the song again this year as if it's a new release. If they do that for a few years it could end up taking off by itself afterwards every year and that would be a very good investment for them.

Posted by: mr_aly 26th September 2014, 10:17 AM

I'd really like Kelly Clarkson's 'Underneath The Tree' to re-enter again, I much preferred that to 'One More Sleep' last year (as much as I liked that too).

Posted by: April 26th September 2014, 10:36 AM

All it needs is radio airplay and big streaming support. The streaming shouldn't be a problem if its put on Spotify adverts/placed on some Christmas compilations. They just need to ensure some radio airplay somehow.

Posted by: Rob S 26th September 2014, 11:56 AM

Ella Eyre - Comeback 184 (pre order)

should rise further after Alan Carr tonight

Posted by: Jonjo 26th September 2014, 01:11 PM

171. Bad Lip Reading - Carl Poppa (feat. Carl G)

This is absolutely BRILLIANT!

Posted by: Dane 26th September 2014, 03:21 PM

Would love One More Sleep to become a classic, hopefully can go top 30 this year at least!

Glad to see Ella Eyre rising deserves top 5 in my opinion but may just scrape top 10.

Posted by: Jonjo 26th September 2014, 03:45 PM

180. Ella Eyre - Comeback

I wonder if this could "do a Nicole Scherzinger ('Your Love')"? Hope so!

Posted by: { bré } 26th September 2014, 03:50 PM

If I'm reading this right... you must be joking? Streaming is going to HELP it as the Xmas songs dominate on streaming, I could see it potentially making the top 10 again this year considering it's not been too far off the last few times. Unfortunately streaming will favour Mariah more though, so we can probably say goodbye to The Pogues ever being ahead of her again.

Posted by: GTH 26th September 2014, 04:01 PM

Considering Leona has now left her old Syco label and moved to island, I doubt there will be any forms of promo happening this season, but I am sure it will get tv and radio plays still. Just a case of seeing whether people get behind it with downloads and streaming this time around. I am hoping it gets picked up for one of the many Xmas tv ads that go around. Co-op playing Gabriella Cilmi's Warm This Winter has done that song wonders as far as longevity is concerned.

Posted by: mr_aly 26th September 2014, 04:03 PM

I'm so made up! Either way it should comfortably outpeak 'If I Go' now at least?

Top 10 would be excellent!

Posted by: Rob S 26th September 2014, 04:26 PM

I think "If I Go" peaked in the top 140 on pre orders. Would love her to finally get that solo top 10 hit. I hope streaming helps out this time.

Posted by: { bré } 26th September 2014, 04:29 PM

'Comeback' is a hell of a lot better than 'If I Go' but I don't think either really sound like hits, I guess 'Comeback' could go top 10 at a push but I don't see it sticking around much longer than 'If I Go'. She'd have been better off sticking to drum n bass I think.

I think Ella will miss the top 10 next week though I can see the track doing similarly to If I Go and being top 10 for a few days but falling out by the end of the week!

Posted by: Ryan. 26th September 2014, 05:14 PM

For some reason Capital haven't played 'Glow' at all for the last couple of days, hopefully they'll get playing it again soon!

Posted by: Rooney 26th September 2014, 06:48 PM

Will all about that Bass be number 1? Genuine question.

Posted by: M¤th 26th September 2014, 07:01 PM

Easily. The track has been doing well forever and is much higher on preorders then 'Bang Bang' ever was.

Posted by: { bré } 26th September 2014, 07:01 PM

Almost certainly.

Posted by: Rooney 26th September 2014, 07:10 PM

Well that's upsetting.

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 26th September 2014, 07:19 PM

Will the sun rise tomorrow? the answer to both questions is certainly yes!

It shouldn't be anywhere near #1 though but it's one of those things that you cant do anything about and just have to accept.

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 26th September 2014, 07:21 PM

Posted by: MrIndependent 26th September 2014, 11:54 PM

No! What gave you the impression? His vocals were visibly different to the studio version.

Anyway, Taylor has moved an inch closer to 2 after SIO's feature on Strictly but it hasn't increased its percentage much. It's pulling further and further away from Calvin at 4 nonetheless.

Posted by: Sheikh Abdul 27th September 2014, 12:10 AM

Why is 'Pills N Potions' at #68? Is it 59p?

I assume it's the reason why the atrocious 'American Boy' is back too, right?

Yes and yes (also PNP is now #67)

Taylor is just scraping #2 now when you combine both her versions (#3 and #91).

She got a nice increase this morning; hopefully that will continue as the day progresses. Anyway, her #3 position on the official charts tomorrow is pretty much on lock.

As Graham A explained in the Fake Songs Charting thread:

Posted by: *Tim 27th September 2014, 02:02 PM

I know they're allowed to, but we've seen various covers reach the top 100, which were also legal, but they got deleted too

Posted by: britster 27th September 2014, 02:05 PM

What's not helping Meghan is that you can't preview the track on iTunes.

Posted by: James1987 27th September 2014, 02:37 PM

You can't preview pre orders, but its still top 20 and will be number one next week

It will have sales of 100k+ sadly but cover versions don't always have a negative impact I.e the year Maroon 5 released Payphone the cover went top 10 bit the original still went on to go to number one on sales of about 140k

The one good thing about covers is that it shows there is demand for a track and that held back releases need to be changed

Posted by: *Tim 27th September 2014, 02:42 PM

Wrong, you can in most cases.

If the Chamber by Lenny Kravitz says around the number 50 position or just above at the end of next week, he might just crack the top 40 Friday night after he performs on Graham Norton, I'm presuming he'll sing The Chamber

Posted by: Ryan. 27th September 2014, 06:39 PM

Look out for 'Hard Work' tomorrow as it is the next instant grat from Ella's album. 'Mirror Man' reached #10 last week so this one will probably get to around #7-8ish with the extra few pre-orders that will have been gained this week.

Posted by: M¤th 27th September 2014, 07:59 PM

itunescharts.net has all the daily iTunes #1's since 2010, but you'll need a list of #1 tracks on the Official Chart to deduce which ones didn't go #1 on the weekly charts.

Posted by: Neil. S 27th September 2014, 08:01 PM

Looks like Flashlight won't even make the top 100 officially. I think it will go top 75 tommorow though before plummeting

Posted by: { bré } 27th September 2014, 08:01 PM

Oops, although to be fair it is a very old song now and will already be owned by most Ellie fans. Hopefully it can at least go top 40 although even that looks a bit unlikely if the pre-order is THAT low.

Posted by: SevenSeize 27th September 2014, 08:05 PM

was about to say 'it's out next week ' but turns out it actually IS out tonight eek. Thought it'd be in contention for top 10 next week, but I guess not then

Posted by: Rabbit Heart 27th September 2014, 08:27 PM

It's an awful song considering the artists involved and should never have been a single in the first place. Add to the fact that it's already been 'out there' for a year means that it was never going to be a success.

Nice to see a more original choice being sung AND getting a big chart boost. I remember when that awful Danyl Johnson covered it but the show needed Whitney's permission to perform it as it was an album track on her album which hadn't been released yet!

Posted by: The Hit Parade 27th September 2014, 10:38 PM

Permission? Surely he wouldn't even have heard the song unless it was given to him as a promotional device?
